Wells College and Its Founders: An Historical Sketch (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book tells the fascinating story of the founding of Wells College for women in 1868, a time when women's educational opportunities were far more limited. The author, a Professor of Oratory and Belles-Lettres at the institution, traces the history of the college, highlighting the obstacles faced by its founder, Henry Wells, and the determination with which he overcame them. The book explores the significant role of Wells College, along with other women's colleges founded in the late 19th century, in shaping the broader movement for women's higher education in the United States. The author highlights the importance of these institutions in providing women with access to rigorous academic programs and challenging their intellectual and creative potential. The book sheds light on the changing attitudes towards women's education during this period, showcasing the courage and vision of those who fought to expand educational opportunities for women. It's a valuable addition to the history of education and women's rights, offering insights into the transformative power of education in empowering women and advancing social progress.
